For years, demure executive assistant, Anna LaBonte, lived with an emotionally abusive husband who controlled her every move and nearly destroyed her. Just when she finally finds the strength to escape the nightmare for good, he is found viciously murdered, leaving her to be the only suspect.

Why has God allowed this into her life? How can she have faith in His plan when her world has fallen apart?

A dark protector...

Every night, former Special Operations Commander Brent Stirling relives the mission that cost his men their lives, scarring both his body and his soul. A mission that failed because of him. The only bright spot in his life is his gentle, reclusive neighbor. When she is accused of her estranged husband's murder, he seems to be the only person who recognizes her innocence.

A test of faith she may not survive...

With the police building a case against her and her life threatened by the real killer, Anna is thrown into the arms of the only person who can save her, the scarred man with the mysterious past and the skills to keep her safe. She reluctantly accepts his help--and finds herself fighting her growing attraction to him. But as they work together to prove her innocence, the mounting danger puts them both at risk.

With his troubled past, can Brent learn to trust that God will give him the power to protect the quiet woman with the inner strength to see past his scars?

Review by: Misty Dietz on Dec. 16, 2011 :
I loved the moodiness of the book: the setting, the characters, the push-pull of their emotions. I enjoyed the characters' honestly and self-awareness. A great read that I thought I had figured out...but I didn't! If you're looking for a moody mystery, this is a great choice. :)

Barbara Phinney has crafted a tightly woven romantic suspense with enough suspects to keep me guessing until the end. An excellent read!
